I don't really like the whole "of course any woman would be fine with giving up everything for her child, even if it's not technically her child" aspect. I really thought Ruby (with help from her mum) was going to end up with both kids, because she was the only one who remembered Poppy through the disappearance. Why was that? She also was relatively quick to see through the wish world.
Someone on Tumblr pointed out an echo of Donna's storyline when she was in The Library's computer and had kids. When she was told they weren't hers, and weren't even real, she reacted much like Belinda did.
Belinda literally got shoved into a box during the climatic battle. And since she wasn't herself, it really did seem like she wasn't in the episode much. She wasn't killed off, but it really felt close to fridging her with that box.
I could sort of understand the Rogue cameo, because the actor had other commitments. Yet why even bother at that point? Did they feel like there needed to be some sort of "farewell" to Gatwa's Doctor? Will we ever hear about him again or is he just lost to Super Hell?
There were also lots of comments referencing Susan prior to the glimpse we had of her. Still not sure if it means anything, but in the episode with The Beatles, The Doctor was pointing out that an earlier version of him was across town with his granddaughter. Could be a throwaway line, could be laying groundwork for her return. I'd like to see the original actress onscreen again, but with things in limbo, who knows how long that will be? I guess they could always go with her regenerating, though there's still some question about whether or not Susan is a Time Lady with regeneration abilities.
I'm getting so tired of recycled actors. I know they can come up with ways to explain it, or just simply ignore it, but it sometimes feels like there's only 50 actors in the UK.
